Living Breastworks.


an. Quad tells how the Confederate
General McCulloch, in 1868, attacked
Che Federals at Milliken's Bend. Six
hundred mules were secured, and each
soldier advanced behind mule, thus
sheltered by living breastwork. AS
soon as the mules came under fire
they reared, plunged, and kicked so
that they were sources OF danger IN
stead or safety. The mules we're q
failure as breastworas. The Federals
thought the mule business was very
good joke on the Confederates, but at
New Hope some military genius con-
ceived the idea OF breaking the Con-
federates' line by driving big herd ot
beeves against it. One night about
ten O'Clock, when it was very dark,
the beeves were massed, and the Fed
erals who were to follow got ready to-
move. The ConEederates caught on,
as the Arabs say, and opening their
line, allowed the beeves to pass
through, and then closing, devoted
themselves to holding the Federals IN
check. In which they were entirely
successful. The Coniederates enjoyed
the Federal beef, and were willing to
take more at the same price.

must have served an apprenticeship at type
setting, and have worked with his own
hands at book binding. On the other hand
it is urged that the manager Of an immense

The prominent Lynchburger from whom
the information WAS obtained on which the
recent paragraph in this correspondence
concerning representative elect Hopkins
and the Lynchburg postmaster was written,
being told this morning that Mr.. hopkins
denied tho correctness of that paragraph,
said it could not be so, for Mr.. Hopkins had

more TO the same effect, and had not only
told him but bad told others, and, besides,
had tod him he intended 10 write an ac-
count of it for publication IN the LABOR Her.
aid, Mr. Mullen's paper III Richmond, and
had actually asked his assistance in the prep
aration CT that account. He says he is
moro than surprised that MIR. Hopkins
should have denied the tfu!h of the par
agraph referred 10, and does not believe
he has, but that he is going back to Lynch
burg tomorrow, and if ne finds that he
really has denied it, he will, over his own
signature, assert that it is true, snd that the
account, so far from exaggerating, rather
toned down what Mr.. Hopkins did say.
A member of the North Carolina congress
sioual delegation being asked to-day If any
body knew the whereabouts of Mr.. Reed,
whose resignation as member OF that dele
cation was handed to the Speaker yester-
day, replied that the resignation referred
to was brought here by the brother of MIR.
Reed, and that SO far as ne was informed
nobody knows where Mr.. Reed is.
This was private bill day in the House.
Among the bills passed was one introduced
BY Mr.. Trigg, of Virginia, to pay A. f. and
n. C. st. John, ofSmyth county. Va, S54.S
with interest from the 30th of October, 1865,
the value of subsistence stores furnished the
army of the United States.
Mr.. Reed, leader of the republican side Of
the House, and Mr.. Speaker Carlisle agree
that nothing definite will be done at this
session OF Congress toward a reduction of
either the tariff or the internal revenue tax.
Mr.. Carlisle has informed Mr.. Randall that
he will recognize him at any time for the
introduction Of any bill on the subject that
he may propose, but when Mr.. Randall
will accept this courtesy has not yet been
indicated. His bill will provide for the
removal OF the tax on tobacco, on the whis-
key used in the arts, and the internal reye-
nue. whiskey license tax. The general
impression, however, on the subject agrees
with that of Messrs. Reed and Carlisle,
above referred to. Mr.. Carlisle proposed to
Mr.. Randall that compromise be made by
which some relief could be afforded the
country, a reduction of the internal revenue
combioed with q reduction OF the tariff on
the necessaries of life, but Mr.. Randall de.
cined for the reason that his followers
would not permit the tariff to be tampered
